Description
Disebo Maine and Karabo Mhele study factors tied to multiple sexual partnerships among men in South Africa. Their 2025 paper uses data from the 2016 South African Demographic and Health Survey, with 3,616 men aged fifteen to fifty-nine.
Multiple partnerships carry a higher risk of sexually transmitted infections. The prevalence in this sample was about sixteen percent. Logistic regression showed the rate fell with age, with older groups far below the youngest group. Rates were higher in rural areas, among men whose sexual debut came before age sixteen, and among men who had heard about such infections or had transactional sex. The results point to where prevention work may focus.
